Quarterly Trends
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Sunnyside, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.
We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.

The neighborhood's commercial corridor along Queens Boulevard and Skillman Avenue features restaurants, bars, and independent shops that reflect its diverse community.
